19 Nov – I order us to fabricate a claim in north Konkan, and I order an army to Chaul

20 Feb, 1545 – Garjat agrees to become our vassal

1 May – I order a Temple in Desh

24 Nov – We have gained our claim

I declare war on Habsan. This is a March of Gujarat. Surely they’ll join in

5 Dec – We sweep aside the defending forces and begin the siege

Oman, their ally, did not join them

22 Dec – We win a naval battle against Gujarat

20 Feb, 1546 – Our navy arrives in the Coast of Gujarat to support our siege and to blockade them

26 April – I left a siege unit and arrived with a large force and won against their 13k strong one, and got a huge swing in warscore from it.

9 May – I take a local fortification expert in Raya…


I have 3 sieges ongoing

1 June – I capture Surat

14 July – Then Baroda

Both of these are really nice provinces with some good wealth to them

1 Sept – I begin landing folks in Kutch and facing the forces on the other side

17 Sept – Their major force comes in to Kutch and hits us and we lose it

I order 5 transports built

18 Nov – North Konkan falls to us

17 Dec – Normally I don’t bother with tech in a war but…


Military Tech 7 – The Limber – Bonuses - +0.25 Tactics, Infantry Fire +0.1, artillery fire +1, and we can make better cannons

20 Dec – I get a peace offer – Habsan give away North Konkan, I get War Reparations, and that’s it. No thanks

9 Feb, 1547 – Their capital falls to us

I now have an 85% warscore.

I take:

North Konkan
Surat
Baroda

War Reparations and their 97 gold

And that was only 67 warscore, but I didn’t wan tot push too much – taking land you don’t have a claim on is bad news bears.

We finish with 18 badboy,

These three provinces are all to the north of Chaul along the coast. I core all three, but the two from Gujarat are pretty pricy.


Baroda is Hindu, North Konkan recently converted to Sunni, and we won’t eb able to recruit it back anytime soon, and Surat I Sikh

We are next to a one province minor called Baglana – I order it cored

During the war some expensive advisors passed, and we are churning out the cash again. I’ll keep it steady for now, and invest bunches. My first investment is naval – I order some more ships

2 more Carracks and Caravels are ordered

30 Oct – Bijapur converts

I spend some power to increase it’s development, opening up another build slot there
